(2) Section 258(1A), (3) and (5) of the Act (powers to inspect ships and their equipment, etc.) apply in relation to paragraph (1) as if references in those subsections to “subsection (1) above” and “this section” were references to paragraph (1). (3) Sections 259(1), (2), (5), (7) and (9) to (12) and 260(1) and (2) of the Act (powers of inspectors in relation to premises and ships, and supplementary provisions) apply in relation to the inspection of a ship to which this regulation applies for the purpose of checking compliance with these Regulations as if— (a) references in those sections to “this Act” were to these Regulations; (b) for section 259(1)(b) there were substituted a reference to any ship to which this regulation applies; (c) in section 259(2)(h)(iii) the words “or any instrument made under it” were omitted; and (d) in section 259(5) the reference to “subsections (2) and (4) above for the purposes of Chapter II of Part VI” were to “subsection (2) above”, and the reference to “those subsections” were to “that subsection”. (4) Any regulations made under section 259(8) or section 260(3) of the Act apply for the purposes of the provisions of those sections as applied by paragraphs (2) and (3) as they apply for the purposes of the Act. (5) Sections 261 to 266 of the Act (improvement notices and prohibition notices) apply for the purposes of these Regulations as if the meaning of “the relevant statutory provisions” in section 261(4) included these Regulations.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
